  • personal laptop - Thinkbook 14 G2

    Currently using a Lenovo Thinkbook with NixOS. Having lived many years with Slackware and Debian, I started using NixOS to see what’s the fuss about it and stuck with it for a year now as it allows me to keep it lean and tidy and switch environments quickly. Most of my work lives in a tmux session, the graphical environment after many years of fiddling around on my old blog doesn’t mean a lot as long as I have my shortcuts configured for window management.

  • low power homelab mini server - Deskmini 110

    That’s my trusty Asrock Deskmini 110 with an Intel G4560, 32GB of ram and Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 500GB disk. Another NixOS machine which is used as a qemu hypervisor and virtual machine deployment and state via Terraform soon to be converted to a k3s node managed by terraform as well. That’s where most of what my lab does. Not much about it though, its tiny, relatively cool, totally silent after installing a Noctua NH-L9i , and finally has very low power consumption with everything running.

  • whitebox server mini pc - J5040

    Will be joining as a k3s node to the above pool along with a rpi4 (see below).

  • ZFS nas whitebox server

    Still in design phase. Till then I’ve been using a Zyxel NAS326.

  • hetzner vps - lyrge.org

    I will be moving this from hetzner the moment I get a decent connection at home. Runs OpenBSD and the site gets deployed using Makefile and posix shell scripting.

  • rpi4 & coral usb

    An all around remote machine currently used as a jump host, and struggling as a NVR system with [Haas] and Frigate configured for Google Coral which is used for object detection. Currently deployed with docker compose. Will soon be replaced by a rpi5.

  • rpi pico & pimoroni pico explorer

    Currently a testbed for a couple of small tinyGo projects I’m exploring when time is available -_(ツ)_/-
